SmartBid Beta 2

You said, We listened!

First, we want to extend our thanks and sincere appreciation to all our beta testers for your constructive feedback and helpful suggestions to make our site super fun. You sent hundreds of ideas, suggestions, technical problems and product choices- We at SmartBid sincerely say "Thank You!"

We read through every single one of those mails (We love 'em - keep 'em coming!) and tried to get as many of them in to make our site exciting for you. Today, We are launching our 2nd beta where we have focused on making our bidding experience super fun and intuitive! The two most interesting things you will notice are:

1. We added a bid board showing all possible bid values you can place on the auction - so no more typos and missing decimals, just select your bid and you're done! And it's just more fun to hover over the bid values and show them pop up - try it out, our Engineers love it and we hope you would too!

2. We have drastically reduced the bid cost - so if you get in early, you get to bid at half the price compared to the closing bid price which is triggered when 30% or less of maximum bids left. So get in early, strategize and block off unique bids at half the cost!

Apart from this, we have made numerous other small improvements across the site like showing your current savings, current lowest unique bidder, hint improvements and many more! We are super excited to hear your feedback about the new SmartBid auction page and overall site!

And last but not the least, We are working super hard to go live as soon as possible as many of you've asked. You can follow us on our facebook or twitter page to get the latest and greatest before the world does!

So be cool, play smart and send us your feedback - we can't wait to see our inbox popping up with your mails!
